I would like to highlight a special thanks to my amazing and patient advisor, Jack Sites. He spent numerous hours and late nights/early mornings editing my manuscripts and making sure that I had everything I needed to excel and grow as a “great” graduate student at BYU. The funding for mul- tiple research trips and meetings was greatly appreciated, too. I am also grateful for my friend and colleague Lee Grismer who has been putting up with me for 16 years starting from a punk kid (un- dergraduate) to a graduate student and many years of field work together all over the world. I am grateful for the graduate students in the Site’s lab (César Aguilar, Derek Tucker, Luke Welton) and past students, post-doc Juan Santos and his wife Natalia Biani, and visiting researchers Mariana Morando and Luciano Avila for many hours of conversations about research projects and normal day life. Thank you also to the people at the University of Washington (Adam Leaché, Jamie Oaks, Leonard Jones, Itzue Caviedes-Solis, Nassima Bouzid, and Matt McElroy) for mentorship and emotional support while generating genomic data. I would like to acknowledge friends and colleagues Dan Portik and Phillip Skipwith, who provided advice and helpful discussions of phy- logenetic software. Special thanks to my international colleagues and friends, Evah Quah, Shahrul Anuar, and Anchalee Aowphol (and their students) for sharing their love of science, great food, and hard work in the field. My family and friends for always being there for me regardless of the situation. Lastly, my wife, Margaret, and my dog, Cloe, for putting up with me for leaving them all the time to go into the field multiple times a year. I could not do this without your unconditional love, support, and encouragement.
